The “EDDIE” is on!

[RodRage]

Wife and kids surprised me with a trip to the North Shore to celebrate my retirement and luckily the Eddie is going off tomorrow supposed to be 20 foot or better, we’ve been here since Wednesday and it’s been pumping good until today. Kam highway is already packed and people are camping out in tents on the beach at least 2 miles away from Wiamea bay, we rented bikes two days ago so we’re stoked, pics to come

ps can your wife call mine and tell her what a real retirement present looks like...I got squat!

Like frijolito said, there is still supposed to be some awesome surf.
To clarify, I think the bikini pics are of the ladies Personally, please don't post pictures of you in a bikini. It would one of those things that can't be unseen and should come with a warning....
Are the lobsters safe with you over there???
Nothing but smiles on those faces! Enjoy the trip and retirement!!!

Some waves pushed one across the highway along Kamehameha hwy during the contest, lol. Some also took some people out.

incredible power in water, river and ocean energy....but that gets me going down a whole different rabbit hole!

I think it washed some kid under a house but he was ok

 

[RodRage]

Yep a whole family got washed under a car two doors down from us yesterday, Lifeguards have been really busy. This is our first time on the North Shore and we are stoked to be here when this all went down

 

[RodRage]

Just went down to the beach and the swell is still in but more manageable, we’re gonna ride back down to Waimea and watch today maybe surf Chuns
